Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Verdi, who had previously considered librettists good only for translating into verse dramatic outlines he had already created, learned to work with an equal; Boito was a superb poet, passionately devoted to the renewal of the musical theater, who had to be treated as a peer, not a subordinate. The letters, stuffed with fascinating detail, catch the two titans in the process of creating the revised Simon Boccanegra, then Otello and Falstaff; sections of text, structural and musical ideas, even production concepts fly back and forth between Milan and Sant'Agata.... A must-have for every music lover's shelf." (Kirkus) "Opera lovers will be pleased." (Publishers Weekly)

Reseña del editor:

The Verdi-Boito Correspondence presents 301 letters between Giuseppe Verdi and his last, most gifted librettist, Arrigo Boito. Documenting an extraordinary chapter in musical history, this definitive English edition of the landmark Carteggio Verdi/Boito features an introduction by Marcello Conati, improvements and updatings to the original edition, an appendix of undated correspondence, and a short closing sketch of Boito's life after the death of his beloved maestro. With a fascinating glimpse of the daily life of European art and artists during the fertile last decades of the nineteenth century, this book is a valuable resource for anyone passionate about opera.
